I am wondering if anyone knows of any smart glasses for open developing on that have at min audio and a camera?
I want to move my kruel.ai system to work with glasses, where currently in development its pc only, well the cloud version we are working on will work with cell phones I wanted to know if anyone has found any glasses to build their openai projects into?
Only ones I’ve heard of recently were the Apple version? Pricey, though. Not sure on devs for it, though.
Following with interest. Hopefully someone chimes in.
I found these ones thus far that I am watching to hear feedback on. looks like they are open source: Frame – Brilliant Labs
Brilliant Labs · GitHub
all the other ones like apple, Xreal, Nautica, Meta Rayband are all their own systems. some are developable long as you use their ai system. I think that Xreal was working on a pair of open source ones once, but a partnership came up and not sure if that is still going to be a thing.
I may just have to bite on the uk ones, just not sur how they will look for every day wear, but hey for research anything goes right 
Still looking for an open pair that look good. Kruel.ai needs some glasses
update: bought the Brilliant Labs ones. Waiting on arrival, the coding for it looks pretty easy and has a 640x400 color ar display in it so that will be fun to play with. will update once I play with them for abit.
How is your experience so far? Have you found a good option with an SDK?
Unfortunately, I’m still waiting for the shipment. They mentioned the end of September for the batch number mine is in, so I’m hopeful it will ship within the next week. On the bright side, I’ve been proactive I’ve completed IBM’s computer vision and a deep learning machine learning courses focused on computer vision, so I’ll be fully prepared once it arrives. Needless to say, I’m eager to get started
Hi @darcschnider , I just wanted to follow up & see if they’ve arrived & how the experience has been developing with them? Thanks!
Well I will say this, they are interesting, but imo they are still too prototype and not at commercial level. Would I invest in them knowing what they are not now. Id hold off and wait for a better option to come along.
They work, but they are very geeky looking and not something you would wear for fashion. The programming side is really easy, I had them up and running with Kruel.ai in an hour. Communications side has some issues for getting Bluetooth to connect to new devices that could just require newer firmware.
The Camera right now is my issue. The product shipped with a bad firmware in which the camera looks like this:
I would wait, well they are ok they are not stellar and very much a prototype or development concept.
The software was easy to interface and does work. The Noa app is not bad but not great. The augmented display works, but is not the quality I expected. There is light bleed, and because of prism it has to sit just right or it is not clear. The design looks like hairy potter glasses but much larger. This is one aspect that I dislike is that its not the most fashionable. As My wife said I can’t take you serious with those on. haha
developing on them is really easy, took about 1 hour for me to build interface for Kruel.ai and have it talking to my system over my network.
The big negative right now is the camera. There is a bad firmware on shipping. here is example from another person on discord named cooper. All the camera have this issue. In outside sunny weather they work pretty good, but I think they did something to jack up for dark rooms and introduced these lines. They make the image understanding not very doable, which was one of the main reasons for buying them. There is a fix coming they say but looking at discord its been months with this issue and new units shipping with this issue does not put much faith in them, you would think they would be focused on fixing but I think they are letting the community come up with the fix which is what some people are trying to do by playing with the camera internal firmware settings and other after process applications to clean up images.
Over all its a prototype that they are using to build funding perhaps to build a better option down the road. I would say save your money for now, wait as Augmented glasses are the next big trend and I am sure there will be better options with larger pockets coming that should support SDK or something.
Ok great, thank you very much for the feedback! I will heed your advice
If you like prototype stuff tough it’s still fun to play with.
